Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Ultraschallkopf für ein chirurgisches Untersuchungssystem mit einer Datenverarbeitungsanlage zur Verarbeitung der empfangenen Ultraschallsignale und einer Anzeige der aufgenommen Körperstrukturen.The The invention relates to an ultrasound head for a surgical examination system with a data processing system for processing the received Ultrasound signals and a display of the recorded body structures.
Ultraschall-Untersuchungssysteme verwenden mobile Ultraschallköpfe, die auf die Körperoberfläche aufgesetzt werden können und dadurch Körperstrukturen abtasten können. Den Körperstrukturen entsprechende Abbildungen können auf dem Bildschirm einer Datenverarbeitungsanlage dargestellt werden, und es ist üblich, daß der Operateur an den Abbildungen auf dem Bildschirm bestimmte Punkte markiert, geometrische Figuren einzeichnet, um Strukturen zu verdeutlichen, oder Berechnungen anstellt, beispielsweise über den Abstand von zwei markierten Strukturen etc.. Dies erfolgt üblicherweise an einer Tastatur der Datenverarbeitungsanlage.Ultrasound Systems use mobile ultrasonic heads, which are placed on the body surface can be and thereby body structures can scan. The body structures corresponding pictures can be displayed on the screen of a data processing system, and it's common that the Operator on the pictures on the screen certain points marks, draws geometric figures to illustrate structures, or compute, for example, over the distance of two marked Structures etc. This is usually done on a keyboard of the data processing system.
Bei der Ultraschalluntersuchung des Körpers wird bei chirurgischen Operationen der Ultraschallkopf im sterilen Bereich eingesetzt, und unter dieser Voraussetzung ist es für den Operateur sehr hinderlich, wenn derartige Bediensignale an einer Tastatur im nicht sterilen Bereich eingegeben werden müssen.at The ultrasound examination of the body is used in surgical Operations of the ultrasound head used in the sterile field, and under this condition, it is very hindering for the surgeon if such control signals on a keyboard in non-sterile Range must be entered.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen gattungsgemäßen Ultraschallkopf so auszustatten, daß der Operateur mit ihm aus dem sterilen Bereich heraus und in komfortabler Weise entsprechende Bedien- oder Steuersignale an die Datenverarbeitungsanlage senden kann.It is therefore an object of the invention, a generic ultrasound head equip so that the Surgeon with him out of the sterile field and in more comfortable Way corresponding control or control signals to the data processing system can send.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Ultraschallkopf der eingangs beschriebenen Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß am Ultraschallkopf mindestens ein Bedienelement angeordnet ist, bei dessen Betätigung der Datenverarbeitungsanlage Steuersignale zugeführt werden.These Task is in an ultrasonic transducer described above Type according to the invention thereby solved, that am Ultrasound head at least one operating element is arranged at its operation the data processing system control signals are supplied.
Beispielsweise kann als Bedienelement ein Trackball an dem Ultraschallkopf angeordnet sein, also eine drehbar gelagerte Kugel, die entsprechend ihrer Drehung um zwei senkrecht zueinander stehende Drehachsen getrennte Steuersignale erzeugt, mit denen beispielsweise eine Markierung auf dem Bildschirm in zwei senkrecht zueinander stehenden Richtungen verschoben werden kann.For example can be arranged as a control element trackball on the ultrasound head be, so a rotatably mounted ball, according to their Rotation separated by two mutually perpendicular axes of rotation Control signals generated, with which, for example, a marker on the screen in two perpendicular directions can be moved.
Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß als Bedienelement eine oder mehrere Drucktasten am Ultraschallkopf angeordnet sind, gegebenenfalls können auch Trackball und Drucktasten gleichzeitig an einem Ultraschallkopf vorgesehen sein.at another embodiment is provided that as Operating one or more push buttons on the ultrasound head arranged are, if necessary, can also trackball and push buttons simultaneously on an ultrasound head be provided.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn an dem Ultraschallkopf ein Markierelement eines der Datenverarbeitungsanlage zugeordneten Navigationssystems angeordnet ist. Dann läßt sich über das Navigationssystem in an sich bekannter Weise zusätzlich die Lage und Orientierung des Ultraschallkopfes im Raum bestimmen.Especially It is advantageous if a marking element is attached to the ultrasound head arranged one of the data processing system associated navigation system is. Then you can talk about that Navigation system in a conventional manner additionally the location and orientation determine the ultrasound head in the room.
Zusätzlich kann dem Navigationssystem mindestens ein weiteres Markierelement zugeordnet sein zur Festlegung an einer Struktur des untersuchten Patienten. Auf diese Weise kann mit dem Ultraschallkopf eine Struktur des unter suchten Patienten lokalisiert werden, und der Operateur kann während dieser Untersuchung durch Betätigung der Bedienelemente in dem auf dem Bildschirm angezeigten Strukturbild Markierungen vornehmen, Auswahlen bestimmter Abbildungen, beispielsweise zum Speichern, treffen oder sonstige Steuersignale übermitteln, die der Verarbeitung der gewonnenen Bildinformation dienen.In addition, can the navigation system to be assigned at least one further marking element for fixing to a structure of the examined patient. On This way, with the ultrasonic head, a structure of the examined Patients are localized, and the surgeon can during this Examination by operation the controls in the structure image displayed on the screen Make markings, selections of certain images, for example for storing, meeting or transmitting other control signals, which serve the processing of the acquired image information.
Insbesondere können diese Steuersignale der Verschiebung und/oder Auswahl von Markierungen auf der Anzeige dienen.Especially can these control signals of the displacement and / or selection of markings serve on the ad.
Es kann unter anderem vorgesehen sein, daß der Ultraschallkopf sterilisierbar ist.It may be provided, inter alia, that the ultrasound head sterilizable is.
Die nachfolgende Beschreibung einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung dient im Zusammenhang mit der Zeichnung der näheren Erläuterung. Diese zeigt schematisch einen Ultraschallkopf mit Bedienelementen bei der Untersuchung eines Körperteils eines Patienten.The The following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention serves in conjunction with the drawings for further explanation. This shows schematically an ultrasound head with controls in the investigation of a body part a patient.
